White Spruce Seedling Counts at Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest Vegetation Plots (4-sq meters)

This study is a survey of the spruce seedlings of the 27 LTER sites in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest. The 27 sites represent three replicates each of six successional stages of primary succession on the floodplain of the Tanana River and three stages of succession following wildfire on south-fac...

Description
Summary:This study is a survey of the spruce seedlings of the 27 LTER sites in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest. The 27 sites represent three replicates each of six successional stages of primary succession on the floodplain of the Tanana River and three stages of succession following wildfire on south-facing slopes in the uplands. Plots in young stages of succession are remeasured every two years; those in older stages every five years. Although most sites were established in 1988 some sites have vegetation plots that have been sampled periodically since 1965.
